You don’t have to own a lot to be happy. Drink in everything good and beautiful around you—enjoy anything worthy around you. Sometimes, maybe often, things are much easier to enjoy if you don’t own them—if you are not responsible for them. I’ve often taken great pleasure walking the hills another man owned but rarely visited. A public park really belongs to me alone and no one else for the moments I sit in solitude by the water’s edge and enjoy the slanting evening light.
Dear Ken,
I really enjoyed your post, especially since I’ve spent some of my most memorable retreats for prayer in the Blue Ridge Mountains. I didn’t own the peaks, couldn’t care for the vast stretches of land, but I knew they belong to my Father in Heaven, who stretched them out and piled them up for me to enjoy, to admire, and because they are so majestic, they lead me to worship Him, giving thanks for all He does for us. Thank you for sharing.
You and Evangel Church might enjoy and profit from a book my friend Rich Tiller has written. It is TOUGH CONVERSATIONS WITH THE HEART OF JESUS,Westbow Press. Those are the conversations we’d always like to avoid, but they can be opportunities for transformation if they’re moments of “speaking the truth in love”. Blessings and prayers, Jeannie Light.
So nice to hear from you. I continually think of your beautiful book. If you recommend Rich Tiller I will read him. Thanks for the book recommendation. I have often told others of your wonderful book. I hope you write again soon.
